Sirius waited until he could hear the snuffled sounds of breathing that signified all of his dormmates were sleeping. He then slipped out from under his covers and pushed his feet into his slippers before heading down to the common room in his silk pajamas.
He stopped at the base of the staircase and watched Lily silently for a moment or two. She looked worried, almost, not her usual self. And she hadn’t noticed him yet. After a brief pause to drink in the sight of her, Sirius coolly walked over and sat beside her on the couch where she took a start, emerald eyes wide as saucers. He his arm lazily on the sofa, then his head against his arm.
❛ Why so surprised, my love? You’ve called, I’ve come. ❜
Why was she even up? Even more of a question, why did she ask Sirius to come down to the common room? Lily held a weathered pillow in her lap and tugged anxiously at the stray threads that were slowly unraveling, staring into the fireplace while she waited for His Majesty to arrive at her side. It was silly, just a meaningless fight between she and James that was bound to come from two stubborn-headed people in a relationship. Even so, the thought that she could have ruined them because of a Quidditch match rubbed at her, and Lily knew that Sirius would most likely have the answers to such a thing.
He was silent, though, and Lily jumped out of her thoughts with a start when she felt the couch cushions sink and an arm drape behind her shoulders, head turning and almost smacking him with her hair. “Sirius,” she said softly, exhaling and letting her shoulders relax. So he decided to show up after all.
“I know you probably want to be sleeping, sorry. I... I’m just worried and figured you’d have answers.”
